Play Commuto by bus

Commuto, the new game for city bus commuters, begins this Friday. Bus patrons can look forward to more than merely reaching their destinations when they travel by Christchurch Transport Board buses during the next five weeks. Each patron can play the new game, Commuto — a combination of “commuter” and “Lotto” — and has the chance to win cash prizes or substantial discounts from city and suburban stores. To be eligible, all you need to do is travel by bus during the five weeks Commuto will run. This is how it works: • As you board the bus you will receive a special

Commuto ticket along with your normal trip or fare ticket. On one side of the ticket there are six computer printed, randomly selected numbers between one and 40. On the left side one number between one and forty appears. This is the bonus number. @ You should keep your ticket in a handy place for the official Lotto draw every Saturday night of the Commuto campaign. If all six numbers correspond exactly to the winning draw that patron will win the weekly prize of $4OOO. If there are no winners until the end of the campaign it will jackpot to $20,000. @ Any ticket holder who can claim five correct numbers from the six

winning number combination wins a $lOO prize., During the campaign it is estimated there will be approximately 48 such winners. © All tickets distributed throughout the campaign remain valid until all cash prizes have been claimed. This means that if the six winning numbers on your ticket did not correspond with those officially drawn, you should keep your ticket as you still have another chance with the same ticket until Commuto finishes. © You should check the bonus number on your ticket to see if it corresponds with the bonus number of the official Lotto draw. ® If the bonus number

matches, you are eligible for the prize on the reverse side of the ticket. This could be a discount, incentive or gift from a number of city and suburban retailers.
